Demon Slayer: Sign In From Mount Sagiri

Chapter 36 The Disappearing Shadow (New Book Asks For Flowers!)

A small town in the northwest, a barren land.

There is little rain here all year round, and it is difficult to grow vegetation and crops. People rely on trading with caravans for a living.

Most importantly, it is far away from Kyoto Prefecture and is almost free from government control.

This has also led to many cases that have not been resolved for a long time, and this time the disappearance is no different.

Within a few days, six women disappeared one after another. Their common feature is that they are young, most of them are around 18 years old.

As a result, many residents chose to leave, making the town even more desolate.

The bizarre incident finally attracted the attention of the ghost killing team.

At this time, two Xiao Suo figures came here.

"Mr. Beidou, the mission location is ahead."

"Um."

Kochou Shinobu holds a map and marks it carefully.

Along the way, without Beidou's instructions, she volunteered to act as a guide, but luckily she didn't get lost.

"Shin, let's find a place to rest first."

Hearing Beidou's words, I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "Mr. Beidou, don't we need to know the situation?"

She meant to inquire about ghosts from the residents here.

Beidou shook his head, walked into an izakaya, and at the same time said concisely: "Do you think they will believe you?"

As soon as these words came out, Shinobu realized that something was wrong.

Not to mention ghosts, I'm afraid they don't even know about the ghost killing team, so it's hard to ask anything of value.

Kochou Shinobu followed Beidou to find a table and sat down, and ordered two small dishes.

A few drunks saw her and wanted to strike up a conversation, but they woke up immediately when they saw the rapier on Shinobi's waist.

In fact, since the ninth year of Meiji, the island country has implemented a ban on knives.

According to regulations, except for the royal family and military members, other people are forbidden to carry knives in public, and later developed into the collection of all controlled knives, and private fighting is prohibited.

This is also reflected in the original plot.

When Tanjirou and his group boarded the Infinity Train, the operators arrested him because Inosuke hit the train with his head.

Zenitsu told Tanjirou that the Demon Slayer Squad has always been an organization not recognized by the government, so they do not have the right to carry knives, especially in places like train stations, where they are not allowed to walk around at will.

Therefore, when a few drunks saw Kochou Shinobu's saber just now, they quickly turned their heads for fear of getting into trouble.

"Mr. Beidou, they..."

Shinobu frowned, but found that Beidou was still sipping his wine glass lightly, so he had no choice but to give up.

She propped her chin with her hands in boredom, waiting for the night to fall.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was finally dark.

Kochou Shinobu noticed that when you arrived, the izakaya, which had just been full of people, suddenly became empty.

And the boss who was wiping the wine glasses at the front desk also had the faint intention of seeing off the guests.

"Shin, let's go."

"Um?"

Shinobu raised his head and saw that Beidou had already picked up the Nichirin Blades.

In his clear eyes, there was a figure of a young woman reflected.

Kochou Shinobu put two copper coins on the table and hurriedly followed, and the woman also turned into a corner.

When Shinobu arrived, Beidou was staring at a house in his field of vision.

At the same time, he was still talking to himself.

"Is this the place?"

"What's the matter, Mr. Beidou?"

Kochou Shinobu trotted over, not understanding Beidou's intentions: "Could it be that you've already discovered the ghost?"

Beidou didn't answer her, but stood quietly at the door with his eyes closed,

In desperation, Kochou Shinobu had no choice but to stand aside, holding his sword and waiting.

During the process, she couldn't help taking a peek at Beidou, and looked at this man who might become a pillar with doubts in her heart.

When anyone faces the unknown existence, there are only two thoughts: fear and curiosity, just like the attitude of later generations towards black holes.

Apparently, Kochou Shinobu has already experienced the former, leaving only deep curiosity.

She still remembers the first time she met Beidou...

How impulsive I was, I almost pulled out the Nichirin Blades.

Fortunately, Mr. Beidou does not hold grudges, huh.

Just as Kochou Shinobu was thinking about it, Beidou suddenly opened his eyes.

"he came."

Before the voice fell, Shinobu hadn't recovered yet, the next second, a scream suddenly sounded in his ear.

That voice came from the house behind him.

"Mr. Beidou, there is a situation!"

Kochou Shinobu hastily drew his rapier, only to find that Beidou's figure had long since disappeared.

She turned over and jumped over the courtyard wall, seeing an incredible scene.

In a room in the house, the figure of a woman is reflected in the paper window, and what is even more weird is that...

Beside the woman, there was a black shadow that kept swaying.

"rustle!"

Just at this critical moment, a flash of sword light broke through the window.

There was a sound of tearing, and the paper window was shattered into pieces, floating in the air.

Immediately afterwards, there was a groan of pain in the room!

A black shadow in the shape of a snake crawled into the courtyard at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and quickly disappeared in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Beidou narrowed his eyes.

Because that's what he's here for.

"Are you OK?"

Hearing Beidou's inquiry, the woman who had just enjoyed the shocking moment subconsciously shook her head.

And Kochou Shinobu finally arrived at the scene.

"Chase!"
